Races at Hamilton Park - Many of
 the TrOtters Already Here-Promise
 of the Meeting Being a Grand
 Success. -s.-
 {! The races at Hamilton Park commence this afternoon. The members of the New Haven Driving Park association have been laboring with great earnestness to make this meeting surpass all others held by this society. This is the sixth annual meeting. There are large number of good horses entered; in fact the entry list is much larger than heretofore. The class of trotters are of higher order.
 Already some of the fast trotters have ar
 rived. Several were here before Sunday and
 were stabbed at s. H. Cruttenden's stables on
 Union street. They are Westchester Girl, Convoy, Mary O., Isaline and Colenel Woods
 Five were brought up on the boat from New
 York last night. Messrs Hubipger's trotters
 will be a fine addition to the races. Tester
 day afternoon Cruttenden was in receipt of 8
 telegram saying that there would arrive this morning from Boston four to be entered in the pacing class. Most of the horses will be here by tonight or tomorrow. Amongst the number are some that are worth the price of admission to see taking spin on the track, let alone seeing them in @ race. Yesterday afternoon several were on the track showing their speed. There were also quite number of people who were delighted to watch the show. Few horses from New Haven are entered, because this city cannot
 boast of many trotters. There are in all | that are here, however, trotters from all parts of the State and from points outside. The prospects are that the races will be I grand success. There is uncommon interest shown by the public over them. The only ! drawback, if there is one, will be the wealth CT. The track is in excellent condition. It | is one of the best halfmile tracks in the State.
 The starter will be F. D. Butricks, who is president of the New Haven Driving associa- \ ton.
 A prominent member of the association | said yesterday that they wanted to make the | meeting such success financially that next I year they would be able to have track OF | their own. .'s-a.t .4L.
